for a minute there I was rooting for rocco mediate because he is an underdog and from pennsylvania, and he's kinda fun and funny, but then woods just does all this crazy shit and people are like omg wtf.

edit: nevermind. rocco's not from pennsylvania. I don't know why I thought that. what a jerk._________________...

To digress: Seedorf ... I still don't understand. So many medals, so many championships, clearly highly valued by some of the most astute coaches in the game ... and yet he's always seemed sulky, pedestrian and over-rated, like bad hummus. I hate sulky hummus.

Yeah, as much as I admire him for being a great footballer, I don't think he would fit in in the team as he's a troublemaker. He always knows better, which is not very good for the team.

When I first heard the news that he wouldn't go, I thought it was bad, but now I'm beginning to realise him not being in the team is a good thing._________________

Hell of a game 5 in the NBA Finals. The Lakers manage to hold off another big Celtics rally to send the series back to Boston. A clutch steal by Kobe Bryant that lead to him getting a fast-break dunk was the biggest play at the end.

any predictions on Sweden against Spain? Zlatan to perform the way he ought to? Spain to crumble after one good performance the way they love to?

We were seconds from scoring a point. granted I wasn't all that suprised that we lost, it is just the manner which angers me. It's all the referies fault!
Anyway we may still make it if we beat russia, or even if it's a 1-1, but from what i've seen russia playing they shouldn't be underestimated. I really hope we win though. the game against Greece was great._________________A cigarette is the perfect type of a perfect pleasure. It is exquisite, and it leaves one unsatisfied.

lee westwood, representing england, failed to birdie at the 18th. no one cried.

I think an 18 hole playoff is too much. what if they tie again? other tournies have three hole playoffs. you don't have to kill everyone to get a winner.

i heard about that. they were calling it an overtime on the radio. doesn't the first person scoring win in overtime? also, have they spend 4 whole days just playing 18 holes? 'cause at that rate, they'll be playing this one till next year.

man, and i thought baseball was slow._________________aka: neverscared!

I agree that Sweden lost in an unfortunate manner. They're not the team of '92, just a well-drilled, discplined side. And with Zlatan and Kallstrom in the squad they have the potential - often unrealised - to create a goal from nothing. Spain, despite their obvious talents, were made to look very ordinary. Aside from the two goals, they did very little of interest. Which is one way of saying that, if they hadn't have scored two good goals, they wouldn't have scored two good goals.

I've always had a soft spot for Sweden, but after his season in club football, I hope the previously suspended Arshavin, of Russia, gets a chance to shine in more than one game. <----- lot's of clauses in that poorly written sentence, eh?

Honestly, that US Open finish was freakin' nuts. I was watching a stream from work with the folks in Sales... seriously exciting and a fantastic way to procrastinate.

I don't usually follow golf (I really would like to actually play the damn game at some point... but it's so bloody expensive and -seriously- hard to break into when you're in your mid-twenties and never played before), but that was a very exciting finish. I couldn't help but root (sp?) against tiger because you just gotta love the underdog... but that guy is really a god. Definitely an awesome fight to the finish.

mouse, a major championship such as the open begins on thursday with a round of 18. they play another 18 holes on friday, after which the combined scores are tallied, averaged, etc. and the cut is made. players who make the cut play 18 holes on saturday and another 18 holes on sunday. thus the total number of holes played, barring a playoff, is 72. yesterday tiger and rocco played a fifth round of 18 holes. they both finished at even par. so it went to sudden death, which is one hole at a time, as many as necessary, until someone puts it in one stroke less than the other. so, this particular year the u.s. open went 91 holes. tiger finished at 1 under par, rocco - even._________________...

I don't know what to think anymore. A team with people like Melchiot and Affelay beat Romania 2-0, ok, sure! why not. Italy and France lost to the same team. HOW THE FUCK CAN ITALY AND FRANCE LOSE AGAINST A TEAM THAT WOULDN"T MAKE THE DUTCH TOP 20 seriously wtf is going on here.

The Boston Celtics are NBA champions for the 17th time in franchise history after delivering a dominating 39-point victory, defeating Los Angeles 131-92. Paul Pierce is deservedly named the Finals MVP. Darn good time to be a New England sports fan.
